Ollie and I hiked a 3.5 hour loop to the top of Windy Hill and back. I love that we have such an amazing hike right from our front door. There was a cool breeze from the fog at the coast, but we had sunshine all the way. A perfect day for the hike!

When I first moved to California, my landlady informed me that the appearance of Amaryllis Belladonna (first flower picture) means “Back to School.”
